When addressing the issue of reading among teenagers, mediators and specifiers are all the same findings
- Teenagers read less than younger children. As much as they devour books in sixth, as third or second, they read less. All the statistics show.
- Girls read more than boys.
- When asked teens why they do not read it or not, their answers are vague, they shrug their shoulders: "It does not interest me; I do not have time, no desire; the French teacher has already given us a book to read; I have to much work ; There is no book that I like ... "
- Over the socio-professional environment is disadvantaged, the less they read. This applies regardless of the age group of young players, preteens, teenagers or young adults.
These findings, however, are qualified. Indeed, for prescribers, whether for documentation or French teachers, and often also for the parents, reading means implicitly read a novel first, and read the novel from beginning to end on the other hand. Or when we dig a little, we realize that teenagers who claim non-readers read anything but novels and / or do not necessarily read a story from beginning to end. They read the TV program, run through the local daily press, magazines (mainly computers, video games or sports for boys, fashion, cinema and devoted to their favorite singers for girls), documentaries or Comics.
Why should they read?
The books are intended for teenagers, mostly books that speak of adolescence, mirror-books, to help these young readers to better know and recognize through their peers. These books deal mostly social issues and topics such as illness or death, suicide, divorce, remarriage and blended families, racism, exclusion, war or love ... So readers realize they are not the only ones living this kind of situation and that reading a novel about what they are experiencing themselves can help them talk with their entourage, so to clarify their situation. A book can help it grow.
Therefore, reading can play an important role in the construction of the personality. It can enter two psychological processes involved in the formation of the individual: identifying and abstraction.
The teenager can thus be likened to a hero, but while standing out in and by becoming aware of his own personality. It may also identify themselves as opposed to a hero.
Adolescence is the period of the physical changes but also intellectual. This is the time where thought and logic are changing and where it fits into society. This is the age when one starts to build theories and to be sensitive to the ideologies. The adolescent begins to think about the future. Sometimes he wants to reform society.
We must, we as donors to read, be vigilant in what we offer to our readers. These do not necessarily have the necessary hindsight or references to understand the second degree, the author's intentions. For us to know the books that we ask of them, so that if the reader finds "the book that changed his life," Whether it well to positive change.
Why do not they read?
Make sure not to give in ambient doom! Lamentations on "The lower level ... They are illiterate or illiterate ..." come back regularly in the mouth of those who want to feel and which does not dig further.
Let's look at the numbers. Fifteen per cent of the French population, or 7 to 8 million people are illiterate. An illiterate learned to read but it has gradually forgotten, for lack of practice and / or because it is cut off from the writing, while an illiterate never learned to read. This was common in France until the eighteenth century, and is also common in developing countries. On the other hand, we know that 93% of children who repeat the preparatory course not access the second class and 20% of students entering sixth can not read; they hardly decipher a text without understanding it.
Today, all children go sixth. It is normal that there is more reading difficulties because the number of students enrolled in college has increased significantly. But that does not mean that there are worse problems reading.
What reading does offer exists today?
In the field of children's literature and fiction specifically, there has been for some years a segmentation increasingly important for age groups, the "target heart" as the publishers say. Collections for adolescents have been launched in several publishers. Meanwhile, there are also, without being clearly stamped, collections for young adults, in Threshold or I read for example. Other publishers find that the books they publish are particularly appreciated by young readers: this is the case of the editions of L'Olivier for example, Diable Vauvert and the collection "Generations" Actes Sud.
In Anglo-Saxon countries, Young Adults concept has existed for several years and on a roll. Young adults means there adolescents from 13 years. In France, this would tend to designate the school and university students, that is to say an age that would go from 16 to 25 years.
